Abstract
A receptacle including a safety locking mechanism in a motor vehicle. A lever is providing including a mass, which is held by a snap-fit device releasably in a non-deflected basic position or in a deflected locking position. In the deflected locking position, the lever, by way of a head, holds a closing element of a lock in a closed position. The lock can be opened in a non-deflected position of the lever. During opening, the lock restores the lever to the basic position, whereby the receptacle can be opened after an accident. The lever is deflected by accelerations that occur in the event of an accident.
